i do when i record the first track/line (usually drums)....everything after that the metro is off...

good to see u back online fluid!!

[Tomer=Trance]

its an anoying little thing
never use it because i always edit the notes anyway....
yeah good to see you back 8)

I find myself a nice juicy breakbeat. Much more fun to compose over than a metronome!

nice to see another person into some breaks around here!!

It would drive me mad if I'd keep metronome ticking all the time. I use it only for recording. No reason to keep it permanently on. I think the sequencer can keep time without ticking. It's not a drummer!

[Smag]

I listen to it for a bit after I've recorded a track, just let the sequence run with the metronome to make sure the timing all checks out, then I switch it off and add some drums :)

no I only leave it on for recording the goods :wink:

The mpc 2000 had a nice one.

Thanks for the replies..

Yea i havent been listening to it to record, and im trying to get the quantizing right.. kinda tricky using sonar2 and audio and midi tracks.

I need more time with my studio :cry:
Here is something i whipped up, to test my Virus sounds..

Does it sound too low? And how off-beat is it :wink:

this all sounds, timing wise, correct :)

[FLUIDNYC]

When i listen to this, the main lead is loud. maybe too loud.

Thanks,

it seems to all sit okay, me I would take a little of that compression off the kicks, but you probably want it there on purpose since this sounds like a hard techno track....
I did not hear however, the acid line I did before?.........did you remove it on accident?

[FLUIDNYC]

yea i just changed the virus patch..
im in multi-mode.. just playing around ..

[mighty]

I need to have a go at multi....I end up however live jamming and forget all about it :lol:

here is a little intro I did last night in 20 minutes or so.

You reworking the clip you posted?

[FLUIDNYC]

Very nice mighty!!

Sounds great bro :D

I dunno, should i rework it?
I was just playing around..i just need more time with my stuff, plus im a total newbie to engineering my stuff, and trying to create beats from scratch.

What ya using to sequence?

peace-
FLUID

[mighty]

I produce solely in fl studio.
the arp part wasn't sequenced, it was played live....but yeah, I sequence and record line in audio in studio.

yeah re work that clip was posted. :)

I am up for collabs if anyone is interested.
